Yeah, I used to be skinny...

... like, 30 friggin’ years ago. That’s me with Don Valyou and Dick Stone at the apex of our competitive scholastic careers, representing DuVal Senior High School on “It’s Academic.”

We won our first game, but then got crushed by Walt Whitman, if I recall correctly.

Thanks to Don for posting this on his Facebook page. (Click the pic for a larger look.)

  17. Fond DMV memories. Saturday mornings have never been the same. Me and my high school Black Pursuit club always wished we could get on this show.

  18. Dude, I remember that guy. He is recognizable to me as the same cat who stumbled into the Diamondback offices a few years later.

    Of course, I looked a whole lot different back then too.

    Father Time opened his can of whoop ass.

  20. Now, I don't have photographic evidence, but I knew you at U. of MD, and you were just as handsome! Though by then you lost the sweater vest look.

  21. ^ How sweet of you, Kelly. Would you mind jogging my memory? Did you work at the Diamondback?

  22. Dude! I knew we were kindred spirits. I was on the winning Scholastic Scrimmage team in 1982 (the Eastern PA answer to It's Academic)
    and who is the dude standing behind you?

  23. ^ Faculty advisor.

    "Scholastic Scrimmage," huh? I guess every city or region has their own version.

    I don't remember much of the thrill of victory. The team practices used to be fun, though.
